Our Co-chair, Sian Lockwood, is in conversation with Mervyn Eastman for episode 16 of the Care Speaks podcast – a half-hour show talking all things social care from a broader perspective and challenging traditional models.

In this episode, Sian and Mervyn discuss the concept of ‘care’ as well as the future of Social Care and its direction of travel.

Sian gives us her take on the importance of leadership in helping communities build their strengths and develop solutions, and what is meant by ‘helping systems to transform to allow community solutions’.

Sian also talks about her work as a founder of Community Catalysts and Co-chair of the Coalition for Personalised Care.

The Care Speaks podcast is hosted and produced by the Institute of Health and Social Care Management in partnership with Later Life Audio and Radio Cooperative.
